What is your logic for this? To me it doesn't make sense as BMW will have to keep two versions of iDrive in their supply chain, one (older) for NA and another (new version) for the rest of the world. This makes manufacturing more complicated and costs more money. US buyers also typically want the latest and greatest in tech (if not everything) so I would think BMWUSA would want to offer it for '09. So it doesn't make sense from a financial, operational/logistics, or marketing perspective if you ask me.
